Du Yuhan breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully Han Xiuqin didn't pry.
Over the next few days, Du Yuhan changed Han Yixian's dressing every two days, and each time she checked, Han Yixian's leg was recovering very well. She had even more confidence in Han Yixian's leg.
When Du Yuhan removed the gauze and cleaned Han Yixian's legs on the tenth day, Han Yixian was so surprised that his eyes widened.
Because all the original scars on his legs had disappeared, his calves were smooth and there were no scars at all.
Du Yuhan said proudly, "How about it? Aren't you surprised? Your leg doesn't look injured at all now, and it will be even better than before you were injured. You'll see later."
Han Yixian touched his smooth calf and was utterly astonished; there really wasn't a single scar left. Du Yuhan's medicine was truly miraculous; not only did it restore feeling to his leg, but it also removed the scars—it was unbelievable.
He felt that not only could he feel his calves again, but he was also starting to gain strength.
He looked at Du Yuhan expectantly and asked, "Yuhan, when can I start my rehabilitation? I can't wait any longer."
In fact, Han Yixian's leg wound should have healed by the third day, but Du Yuhan didn't want it to seem too extraordinary, so she delayed it for a few more days. Now, Han Yixian's rehabilitation is perfectly fine. But she still wants him to wait a little longer. She doesn't want to appear too miraculous.
Du Yuhan smiled and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? I've already taken your pulse, and your leg is recovering very well. But you still need to wait a few more days to allow the tendons and ligaments in your leg to strengthen further. However, you can sit in a wheelchair without any problems now. You can also try using your calves a little, but not too much."
Han Yixian nodded excitedly upon hearing this.
He had been lying in bed for over ten days and was really fed up. He felt his body was stiff from not moving around, like it was about to rust. As soon as Du Yuhan mentioned that he could sit in his wheelchair and wander around, he quickly got up.
He carefully sat in the wheelchair and gently felt his calves. He could feel them, and although they hurt a little, he could still exert some force. This made Han Yixian very excited.
Only then did he truly feel that his legs were moving in a positive direction, and that he was really about to stand up.
Liu Gang has been gone for more than ten days, and Du Yuhan estimates that he should be back in a few days. Then, Liu Gang can help Han Yi start practicing walking.
But Han Yixian couldn't wait for Liu Gang to return; he was eager to prove whether he could stand up again.
On the third day after he was able to get out of bed, he carefully stood up while sitting alone in the living room, holding onto the table.
When he finally stood up, he was overjoyed. He felt reborn, and his vision was filled with light. All of this was thanks to Du Yuhan.
Du Yuhan was a fairy sent to him by heaven, who saved him from darkness.
He will spend the rest of his life treating her well, and they will have a lifetime of wonderful times together.
As soon as Du Yuhan entered the house after weeding the vegetable garden in the yard, she saw Han Yixian standing up.
In her anxiety, she quickly went over to help Han Yi up, complaining, "Didn't I tell you to rest more? Why are you in such a hurry to stand up?"
Han Yixian was pleasantly surprised that Du Yuhan offered to help him, and he shifted some of his weight onto her, saying, "I'm in a hurry. I want to stand up as soon as possible. Can you help me walk a bit?"
Du Yuhan nodded and said, "Then be careful, and speak up if you can't hold on any longer."
Du Yuhan then put one of Han Yixian's arms on her shoulder. She could only do that because Han Yixian was too tall when he stood up.
Du Yuhan grabbed Han Yixian's arm, which was resting on her shoulder, with one hand and the other around his waist, and began to walk slowly with him.
Han Yixian felt the arm around his waist and the soft shoulder beneath it, and the corners of his mouth curved up in a smile.
The reason he stood up to practice so early was precisely because of this plan. He knew that Du Yuhan wouldn't just watch him practice walking on his own.
If Liu Gang were here, he certainly wouldn't be receiving such good treatment. He hoped Liu Gang would stay home for a few more days, preferably until he could walk without assistance before returning.
It has to be said that Han Yixian really went all out to use his cunning to get close to Du Yuhan.
Han Yixian had been paralyzed for over a year, and he had almost forgotten how to walk. The feeling of his feet firmly planted on the ground brought tears to his eyes.
He felt his legs were as weak as noodles, yet also as painful as if he were stepping on sharp knives. But now he liked this feeling, a bittersweet experience.
Standing up opened up a much wider field of vision, and the feeling of looking down at things in front of me was really great.
Seeing that Han Yixian was soon sweating, Du Yuhan said, "Today is the first day, let's stop here for now. We need to proceed step by step. Take it slow, don't rush it. Do your legs feel very painful?"
Han Yi nodded and said, "It really hurts. I also feel like my legs are weak."
Du Yuhan helped Han Yixian sit down and said, "This is normal. It will get better with practice. You can't rush it, or you'll hurt your leg again."
I help you walk for a while every morning and afternoon, gradually increasing the time. Slowly, you won't need anyone's help anymore.
That evening, Du Yuhan applied the ointment to Han Yixian again. She didn't dare to go all the way at once, otherwise it would be too miraculous and arouse Han Yixian's suspicion.
And so, Du Yuhan helped Han Yixian walk every day. In fact, on the fifth day of Han Yixian's walking practice, he felt that his legs were capable of walking on their own. But he couldn't bear to miss the opportunity to be close to Du Yuhan, so he still let her help him walk.
He didn't start walking independently until Liu Gang returned.
After returning to his hometown, Liu Gang realized how difficult life was for the farmers there.
He lived with his brother Xian in Luancheng, and with Du Yuhan bringing food home, he didn't think much of it. It wasn't until he returned home this time that he learned how bad the farmers' harvest was. Many places were starting to experience hunger.
The grain and other food he brought home made his parents extremely happy, saying it was a lifesaver.
During his time at home, Liu Gang learned that this year's drought was horrific; even carrying water to irrigate the fields wouldn't guarantee a harvest of more than 30%. Not to mention, many places had nowhere to fetch water and were completely at the mercy of the weather.
If it doesn't rain, there will be no harvest, and we can only wait for government relief.
Liu Gang recalled what Du Yuhan had said about how the disaster was even more severe in some other places, and that many parts of the country had been affected. His hometown was not even the worst-hit area.
Liu Gang was also worried about his brother Xian, and after staying at home for more than half a month, he couldn't stand it anymore. So he gave all the extra money and tickets he had to his parents, said goodbye to his family, packed his bags, and returned to Luancheng.
